This game shows how bad a traumatic event can mess with one's head.
FACTS
Yeah this game turned out from gas making you hallucinate to someone who watched their family burned and some got hanged, penetrated, suffocated, and crushed. And he had to rewatch it happening by his brain. This is truly sad
facts
@@brooketay283 look at her face on thumbnail
@@orangebag1644 I started laughing when I first saw the thumbnail. 😂 why she looking at him like that
I love how this game is like “If you play the characters to their current personalities you will be punished” because you have to accept change
I don't know, for my first run I accused the reverend and was nice with the characters all the way through but Taylor still got killed. I should've checked the traits. I had a feeling I had to be a bit more in character with Taylor for her not to die.
@@pacman22XD i think the game is more like fighting ur own demons, i made taylor fight her monster thing without asking daniel for help and she survived my game
@@devinhvalentine yeah, cause all through the game she's telling him that she needs to be able to rely on him and he's constantly reassuring her, letting her know that he's there for her and all bc of her insecurities so she basically needs to realise she can do things on her own.
@@devinhvalentine Yes you're right, I replayed from that part and she survived this time. I wonder what the exact choices are for each character that cause them to die in the house.
I believe your characters need to develop good, heroic traits or they will die. An example is when in the ruined house John is blocking the door from the monsters and he has two choices, (fearful) tell Andrew to help him or (heroic) tell the others to run. If the player chooses fearful, the monster’s eyes will flash the word fearful as a bad trait before killing John
When you realized that Anthony was adopted which means he lost all his family twice.
well thanks for that
I thought it was megan who was adopted?
@@anachyinuk all of them were adopted, hence why in the beginning the dad said “well maybe if we could have children of our own”
@@anachyinuk they were all adopted and it was like a foster home type situation. Which is why it wasn’t SO weird that he imagined Taylor and Daniel being together
Eh, not really. That depends on why he was an orphan. There are a lot of them given up as infants. So, in that case, he never had a family before his adopted one.
I thought it was interesting how the bus was called the Ferryman, hinting that he was like the boatman carrying souls to their final place.
Duh
Cool!
I never even noticed that… looking back it’s a Devil In Me easter egg
This ending, although not technically the "good" ending, feels like the right ending for the story to me.
Idk, this ending feels one that makes Anthony finally to seek for mental help he needs.
The other endings feels like ones where he is taken to Asylum with him having zero will to get cured.
Agree, well atleast he still have his little stepsis that always be there for him thou
I think this can be safely be seen as a similar"good" ending
I think this is my favorite ending too
@@jarskil8862 he actually gets cured on the good one: his ghost familly gets rest and he stays free
I swear this game left me feeling empty inside
Me 2
The ending is complicated.
Its extremely anticlimatic, but same time so damn beautifull.
@Tb. Aris Suchranudin for real? I’ve never played spec ops the line
I just can’t get the ending out of my head, so sad man
still empty-
Usually Im not the biggest fan of the "it was all in your head" ending but I think they pulled it off well because the different endings all have their good and bad sides, it can be argued about which ending is truely the best for Anthony. Keeping everyone alive might not be the best way, letting go and accepting death might be...
I agree! Some people feel cheated bui they're missing the point. I thought the narrative was cleverly conceived, how everything was interwoven. It's fun piecing together all the details after finishing the game. Nothing is obvious on first playthrough but afterwards you go, "ah! I can see why this happened, that happened etc" it's clever.
@@bhamacuk It is clever, but it is disappointing to grow to love these characters just to find out they arent real. I worked so hard to make sure everyone lived (and they did) but I feel like it was all for nothing because we leave the game with one person left regardless
@@dusthymn8187 but actually its also happen in until dawn. No matter what you do you can't save Hannah and her bother and her sister. So to be fair is actually not just in this game
But yeah i think this is a good story. And i like the concept of this series of exploring the possibilities that the true horror is your mind. They do getting better and better along the series
I'm fine with the "it was all in your head" ending as well, but if they do it yet again for the third one then I'll probably be done with playing this series. It'll be too repetitive then.
A big part of the trials and flashbacks were about Andrew trying to work out who to blame for the fire. He either blames Megan, he blames the priest for making megan evil, or he realizes it was accident and blames the doll that caught on fire on the stove. This ending is the only one that seems to bring closure to Andrew, and it's why I think it's the best one.
dude i didnt even think of it like that. That makes so much sense now
@@trevormccook2647 honestly
that's pretty good point, the more i read about the story it makes more sense, all things aside the story was lot more intresting than lot of other story-driven games for me.
The diner endings brings closure. D : He finally remembers his family as good people, and is able to let them go.
I think another good point would be that maybe his psychosis was fueled by his interest in the trials to begin with. Cause in the very beginning of the game you can find books in the house about salem and about witches. I think its safe to assume it was Anthony/Andrews books and that his knowledge from these times just made his hallucinations take that form. You can assume this mental break happened when he lost his family and with the combination of his head injury. At the time he wouldve either recently read the books or currently been reading them. I also have a theory that maybe he worked at the museum in Little Hope. As a good portion of the game is centered around the Tourist attractions of the Witch Trials there. A lot of what is revealed about these trials is never really done so through his character and the other characters are learning about the towns history. I think maybe he already knew most of this and they used this as foreshadowing. His character mainly intereacts with the others and never really learns much except for what would have happened after he left town. (i.e. the election for mayor, the factory actually closing, etc) Tho this is a theory and could be wrong in many different ways.
For me this ending is the best ending.
He has to let go of his ghost family.
He has to let go and move on.
This ending is half good/bad since he still hallucinating Megan.
He went from hallucinating his family with Megan as the devil to his family is dead and Megan is innocent, Megan is his new crutch to replace his family hallucinations.
@@itbesilly4544 I know 😊I get what you’r saying. You can be right.👍🏿
at the beginning he wasn’t actually hallucinating there definitely was a ghost inside his home when he was actually younger the ghost was definitely messing with Megan. The other guy told him don’t go inside the house it’ll mess with your head.
It what is the it that he’s referring to. It definitely can’t be the house or his brain.
🤯Who knows it’s a very confusing trying to put the stories together.
But thanks 😊
@@Artemis217 the fire memory is influenced by the witch trials. if you walk around the front of the bus you find a book on magic, which means anthony believed to a point in spiritual beings. the memory we see of the dream he has right after being in the car wreck, after being told to go through little hope where his family died and was full of satan fear. So no ghosts, just a slightly false memory based on his anger for megan.
@@penellyn2478 I get what you’re saying👍🏽
I also think he’s hallucinating. I don’t think he hates Megan though. I think his regret was not able to save everyone Megan included. 🤗that’s what I think 🤔
@@itbesilly4544 you only say that because you don't believe in ghosts. His family were an hallucination. Megan was REAL. She pulled him through this, and saved him so he could move on.
It's kinda saddening that all this tragedy started from megan being possibly a child with special needs (looking at her report card filled with bad grades). The parents mistaken her as a troubled child and take her to a reverend which actually caused megan to be even more unstable. Then she burned the house. Of course this is just my logic so take it with a grain of salt.
;-;
The good ending is when Andrew saves everyone, causing his imaginary friends to forgive him thus learning to forgive himself. It's a stretch but it's a decent speculation to the "good" ending.
I dont really know if there is Megan. It could be just an imaginary member in Anthony's family. Maybe Anthony needs someone to blame the guilt for so he made up Megan.
@@minhnguyencao8067 Megan is buried along with the rest of the family in the grave yard
@@minhnguyencao8067 you can find her tombstone along the rest of the family in the graveyards
As a game, this is definitely one of the "worst endings", but as a part of film and storytelling, this is probably one of the most intriguing, heartbreaking, and interesting storylines out there.
please explain why this is one of the worse endings... im pretty sure its far from it
@@ericka.5240 Everyone dies; therefore worst ending.
Well, you could die as well but whatever
The story here is tragic and meant to be so it’s COMPELLING! Great story every angle and endings give you options if not satisfied. All endings are not worst or best just enjoy it 😇
@@johnlime1469 dude everyone dies reguardless. If everyone dies, you as Andrew can move on, but if everyone lives, you still feel burdened towards your family's death, therefore never moving away from the tragedy. This is probably the best one because not only do you move on, but you live in the end, while at the same time making mends with Mary. Plus she saves you so that's a lot better than some other endings.
@@johnlime1469 this is literally the best ending mate,wth
I noticed that if you get the bad Megan she appears on the other shoulder and Anthony dies. Kinda like an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other.
What do you mean by “(get the bad Megan”?
@@mollybloxham8028 it's like vengeful spirit that will come back to make sure you die.
@@mollybloxham8028 another version of this ending is anthony, instead of being scared and hesitant with suicide as in this one, is dead set on killing himself and just stares into space with the gun against his head, and as if to make sure that he actually pulls the trigger, a spirit of burnt-up megan shows up by his ear and screams, which triggers him to shoot himself
@@septuarii oooooh thanks! That makes a lot more sense
@@mollybloxham8028 no problem !!
Part of me wishes that the scene fades to black as we watch Megan give Anthony a hug from behind
Same
That would be nice
@@CMV510 Then 5 seconds later bang. Plot twist.
@@flashkirby101 ?
I would have started bawling if that happened.
Now that I think about it, Vince ONLY talked to Andrew throughout the story. In the bar he was completely ignoring everything John said. How the hell did I not catch that!?!!?!?
I love that the cop realizes the dude is crazy and just lets him drive off
He probably just took what the driver said as a joke.
@@SyberiaWinx Exactly my interpretation. They both said it with what could be a dry humour sort of tone.
the cop def thought it was a joke (unless you did the arrest ending)
@@SyberiaWinx the thing is no cop would do that tho, he would have asked for a sobriety test
@@andrewp1653 Over a joke?
This game felt so silent hill to me. A tortured man entering a ghost town, where he will face his demons. Will he successfully face them and find closure? will he run away from them? or will they finally consume the little he had left....his life?
silent hill 2
A mimic which mean unoriginal and not creative
@@henrytownshend8862 wdym??? Its a different story and different characters
@@henrytownshend8862 a very good mimic I would say. I won't be surprised if they admit they took inspiration from silent Hill.
@@hero303-gameplayindonesia8 yes, different story and different characters, that's the good point. The bad point (mimic) is the similarity to silent hill
I personally think this ending is the best ending, and here is why. Everyone needs to die in order for Anthony to move on. In my game when everyone lived and Anthony got arrested he still acknowledged them like they were real. He still saw them. If he didn’t get arrested and everyone lives he still seems to blame himself. The last words he says are “I wish you guys could’ve lived.” Or something like that I don’t remember the exact words, but it felt as regret not forgiveness. He still held onto the past. If they all die he kills himself or gets arrested. I haven’t seen what happens if he doesn’t have the gun in the end, but I’m assuming it leads to the diner thing except sadder which is still bad, but throughout the game Megan’s ghost leads him on this journey. She gives you hints like taking you to the museum to burn the doll. Or showing you that Mary is not to blame in the playground. Everyone HAS to die in order for Anthony to move on. He needs to accept that they are gone. In this ending after everyone dies he attempts suicide, but one person is really there. Megan is. Megan is there and she stops him. He’s REALLY not alone in this ending. They all had to die in order for him to move on, but Anthony can’t handle it, but with Megan being there he can handle it. You all might have different thoughts, but I think that this ending is the only ending where Anthony can truly move on from the past.
Edit: I think people are misunderstanding some of what I’m saying.
1. I am not saying the arrest has anything to do with anyone dying. I am fully aware that the only thing that decides if he gets arrested or not is Vince. I was just describing other endings.
2. We don’t understand Anthony’s mind. The ending can be bad or good depending on how you look at it. I’m not trying to prove anyone wrong I’m just putting my thoughts in the comments.
3. Please do not be rude or disrespect other people’s ideas or opinions. I’m not saying this for me I’m just stating this, because I see this often. Everyone has their own thoughts and ideas. For example I have seen split opinions on the endings on my replies. Which is great. With games like Little Hope it will lead to a lot of discussing, but please make sure you are respectful when your trying to discuss your theories with someone. Not everyone thinks the same way you do.
Thank you, and have a nice day.
Second Edit: Another quick theory I had. So I personally think Megan is not a hallucination. It’s mainly because throughout the story Anthony is led by this girl, but it’s not Mary. The girl is different from Megan. In this ending it is revealed that the girl leading him was Megan, and Megan was the only character who after he stopped hallucinating was still there. Every other character vanishes after Andrew is revealed to be Anothony, but this girl doesn’t vanish. After he stops hallucinating he no longer sees her as a different girl. He sees her as Megan, and Megan does not go away. I’m going to test something, and come back with the results.
Alright so instead of burning the courthouse down I saved Mary and I can say for certain that it does not matter if you burn the doll or not which is kind of disappointing. It seemed like they put a lot of emphasis on it for no reason, but about the whole Megan ghost thing I still believe that this is the real Megan. Also Megan, and Mary are not the same. Mary is what Anthony sees. Megan is the one leading him everywhere. We actually never even speak to Megan. Throughout the game she looks like a school girl who Anthony follows everywhere, and in this ending is revealed to be Megan.
Now about the ending where everyone survives and tells Anthony it’s not his fault. I have seen multiple people say different things about that. How it’s good how it may be bad. So what I think is that...... we don’t know. We really do not know Anthony’s mind. We only know what we see. We have no idea what ending is the best ending. We have no way of knowing how Anthony feels at all. So it’s all on you. Whatever ending you think is best is best.
Although we can all agree that Anthony killing himself is a bad ending right?
Also sorry about the amount of writing in this comment. It’s a theory, so I am just adding evidence to back it up. If you don’t care then don’t reply please. I’m just really interested in this game, and the theories coming out of it.
“Not a very happy ending... or maybe it is! Depends on what makes you happy really.”
Edit: I am not saying Megan is alive. Megan is dead. I’m saying her ghost is there. Notice how once Anthony stops hallucinating he sees Megan in her original outfit. That’s Megan’s ghost that has been leading him everywhere, but he was seeing her as a different girl, but once he stops hallucinating he sees her ghost.
They didn't all have to die for him to move on. He's traumatized and feeling guilty for what has happened to his family in the 70s. What he's experiencing is basically him trying to re-live the past and save everyone from death (from the monsters that try to take every single one of them). I didn't watch all endings yet but I bet, he decides to commit suicide in that ending in which he fails to save everyone and they all die and therefore his guilt becomes even stronger and he decides there's no reason for him trying anymore
buddy i thinks that's exactly true. Because in my ending 3 person are alive and Andrew makes to the diner and and says to the remaining that he was sorry for the trouble and he wishes that they would have made it that day. and kinda still feels regret ....so this ending at first glance seems bad but those people if saved or not doesn't count cause they are dead it is only the thing that accepting that happened ...and as all are dead in this ending he finally realizes that they are truely gone and he needs to move on...
100% agree, i've come to that solution too when i watched all the endings.
He actually says: "I just wish we all could've made it."
I agree some with this view. Some of it I think may be hinted by the Narrator in some conversations, such as mentioning that sometimes the best option is to "play true" to how they are. I see this as trying to play the game balanced by having the characters behave true to how they made their impressions in the prologue rather than worry about making all the morally good choices that may seem out of character, leading Anthony to remember his family as how they were and having an easier time coming to terms with the harsh truth of their deaths rather than fall to regret over what-could-have-beens and clinging to glorified portrayals of his family in the hallucinations. Sometimes during trauma, clinging to only the good without acknowledging the bad can make it harder to move on and risky to fall into a denial mindset.
If they wanted older Andrew to look nothing like younger Andrew, they succeeded nicely. But I guess it wouldn't have been a surprising ending if they looked alike. Great nose job, older Andrew.
Yeah
If they gave him the magnificent eyebrows
dead give away
Noses and ears keep growing as you get older
@@Xxsorafan true lol
Keep in mind he had burns and facial damage from the fire
@@sydneyliles5752 I don't recall his nose being burned off, so that he'd need it replaced with a new one, but it was a fun game.
Poor Anthony. I can’t believe that he has been living with this trauma for so long and it’s still haunting him. He didn’t let go of the past and it came back. I am sorry he had to go through this horrible experience twice
So you mean That fire thing happened In real??
@@creepyanky2944 yes, the fire in the beginning is real
In my opinion this is the best ending from all, where Anthony realize that all of his family were long gone not like the perfect ending Its kinda sad when He think all of his family still around
I think that Anthony is thinking that they're still with him, in his heart.
I'm still confused .. when Anthony tried to kill himself maghan comes and stops him.. even after Anthony realises it was all in his head and he is the bus driver maghan is still standing there(as if she is still alive)
Its Zain maybe it was meghan spirit
@@mrfix355 doesn't make sense
@@itszain6317
It could just be that she’s there in his heart. Like, he doesn’t actually see them, but realizes that they live on within him in a way. If he died, he’d be killing them too.
Damn I honestly wasn’t expecting another ending so quickly
I hate watching characters die in all games
Well the pain grows when u know they aren’t even real
Can't say the same about shepherd tho
@@Raku-im6un your right tho
Facts cuz I be thinking im finna survive then I just played just to die
@@mrrangerfromtheearth5477 yeah like we have been on adventure with all the characters and in the end they all just a hallucination that keep us moving a head and disappear agter we complete the objective.....
Got this ending in my first play through, tho I was able to keep everybody alive until the final house attack...
Oh yeah moral of the story don't go in the old haunted houses a can of gasoline will do wonders
Lol somehow on my first play through I saved everyone I chose carver as devil too
I'm guessing you didn't pick the heroic options when the characters were facing their demons?
@@ammonahwong9994 You know what's annoying? The only character i really cared about saving was Taylor, so she's the only one i asked for help. Queue her being the one to die because of that :'( I was heartbroken haha
I also got this ending too, Taylor died just after Abraham was introduced I was dumb choose movement over sounds Haha. The rest died in the house
Andrew: I can't go on anymore
Megan: Pathetic...
Wow finally a meme 😂
sometimes people aren't strong enough to go on.....everyone is different
"You Guys Are Getting Paid?"
HAHAHAHA
"You guys are getting killed?"
LMAOOOO
"You guys are already dead?"
"You guys were in my head?"
The game : just realesed
Babyzone: IM SPEEDDDD
Bro-I was traumatized the whole time with the flashback scenes featuring the priest and Megan. Like he was clearly grooming/s*xually a**aulting her in all the timelines. Which is really fucked up because nobody knew before it was too late. And I’m sure the MC feels a lot of guilt not only because his family died but also because he never noticed what the Priest was doing to his baby sister until after.
Very touching. Pretty deep stuff his sister was there for him in the end. Comforting him letting him know it wasn’t his fault.
These endings where shocking yet at the same time wholesome this game was trippy but reflected on others like him
Agreed
He had to believe in her despite the evidence against her, so that she could save him when he could not her.
That's kinda poetic
what
I feel like this, to me, is the True Ending, because Everyone except Andrew needs to die in the house because Anthony needs to face the reality that they are truly gone and Burning the Doll part has significant to since whoever Andrew is with will tell him that it was not his fault and that he tried his best. Also all of them dying has a hidden meaning as well, take a look at Angela's deaths for example Andrew can witness Angela dying except for one her possible deatg in the house at the end this reflects how Anthony didn't witness his mom die in the fire as he can only witness his other family members death.
The twist at the end has to be the most satisfying explanation for a game ever... I loved it so much as it genuinely made me feel bad for a video game character. What a game....
“Sorry mate wrong path” I bet you can’t guess where this is from
omg black mirror bandersnatch right haha
That’s part of the reason why I like this game so much, Andrew is that guy from bandersnatch
This is touching! However, I better prefer the ending where he pictures everyone surviving yet still moves on..
Ok I wanna know what was up with Daniel and Taylor? Tanya was supposed to be dating Vence right... but Anthony was literally hallucinating them having a “secret relationship” than they kept getting up close on each other in scenes and kept saying “We can’t let them know” or something like that I think. Did they really have a secret step bro step sis relationship and Anthony somehow found out? Like wtf? If so I feel horrible for Vence!!! Dude is traumatized that his girl died but his girl could of been dating her sTePBrO as well?!?
I think this stemmed from the idea Anthony didn’t like the together so he imagined his sister with someone else
Maybe they did have a secret relationship and Tanya wanted to avoid it so she decides to hang out with Vince a lot. Idk this is my theory and I think I could be wrong
We don’t know. But if it is what happened between them, then wtf 😬.
@@firstloveacrossthesea5835 They were all adopted anyways. Weren't real blood siblings.
+We never see them kissing or anything, there is that interesting moment where the *mom figure* finds out -or at the very least is questioning their relationship.
Why would it be a bad thing otherwise? And at the very begining, Daniel is kinda harsch on Vince. Well he's rather rude in general, but it really gives that impression that he's... jealous somehow..? When Andrew himself seems to like Vince.
(Just saying, there is a lot to support that theory. But of course it could be a misleading too.)
This game was so depressing. Don't think I could replay it, knowing the truth.
I got this on my first play through, but Daniel was the only one dying in the house cause the rest were dead
what the hell happened
chaos
how do you get everyone killed in your first playthrough, were you trying to get them all killed
@@ericka.5240 just fail at qtes
This was my first ending too. Everyone died despite my best intentions. I now know the conditions you must meet in order to keep characters alive.
The "its all in this guy head" ending is interesting but I prefer the witch shit that was going on over this plot twist
Yeah they did the same thing in man of Medan. It’s really disappointing to know there was no real supernatural things happening, hopefully it’s the last time they go for a plot twist like this.
Idk I still think it could be both. Like with the demon behind Megan or Vince taking the darts from the dartboard after John threw darts. I haven't played through all possible endings or collected all the secrets, but unless the game is explicit about it I still think it could be interpreted multiple ways.
@@martipotato431
I think Vince played darts and got all bullseye. Since Daniel, John, and Taylor aren't real, the darts they were playing was imaginary.
same here, interesting twist but I feel it really kills off a lot of replayability, since you now know these guys aren't there and won't really "survive" anyway no matter what choices you make.
@@martipotato431 The demon behind Megan was just her imagination. It was her interpretation of the priest that was abusing her. You can see it in her drawings. No supernatural things in this game sadly, just like man of medan.
But I think all of those bad traits are the exact traits of each family members in the 70s , and you just have to accept that Anthony, while Anthony (Andrew) trying to change but he can't, he just need to face the reality
This made me cry like a baby but god the entire thing was so well done and did so well illustrating grief and moving on. It hurt so bad but it was just. So good.
Thats ending so sad
Tell me about it, I'm a guy and it made me boil my eyes out like a little girl, 😢such beautiful sad music too lol especially when Megan/Mary appeared and pushed the gun down😔
@@DJPurpleOne17 Damn man.. Had me going, set me off faster than a firework lol. 😆 😰
Vince is a d***, there should be a ending where he hugs Anthony and befriends him instead of telling him to leave and not come back
If my family died in a house fire and I was the only that survived, and I felt like it was my fault
the last thing I would need is friendship from my dead sisters boyfriend lol
@@joshualeahy2162 Is it just me or does Andrew look like gally from maze runner
@@xxsecondbearxx4867 Nah it's not just you. Probably the same guy. 😋
the protagonist looks like "the actor with the eyebrows" ngl
he is, he is cute
@Jaime Arevalo they used different people for motion capture
so that means that angela , taylor , john and daniel is just his hallucination right .. they dont even exist right?? .... and andrew himself is the bus driver actually..
Yes indeed, its just fuck up
I personally think that there ghost of his family or memories of them with the curator referring to them as souls and when characters avoid getting killed by the monster he mentions on how they almost could have meet a fate worse then death,The best ending scene where the characters say their goodbyes right before they disappear and the constant mentions of how they all could be dead and that there in the after life or some sort of limbo infered by the characters themselves and the curator.While i also still do think there were some aspects Anthony broken mind definetly made up like the witch trials
Yes Andrew is the only one who was actually there the entire time. It's so cool and surprising
@@breakops5339 and the sister’s boyfriend he was the old man and he was actually there i think bc in some of the endings it shows his perspective of the game where andrew seems to be talking to himself
@@aziznurashidiq1264 yeah and i kinda feel sad actually for him for years he's been carrying the guilt by himself
This game had such a real and deep impact, especially this ending :’(
This the ultimate way of saying, it was all in your head.
Watched jevs play-through of it all and when the ending happened I was amazed and so lost for words. It’s also pretty sad in the sense that some people actually have to live like this, not to this extent but I’m sure there’s people who have gone through similar things like this with schizophrenia.
Thanks BabyZone. You never fail me
So in the beginning of the game who TF WAS THAT MONSTER WITH LONG FINGERS NEXT TO MEGAN before she burned the house
Priest
it was probably her own inner demon that made her set the house on fire
It’s that asshole priest. He basically did inappropriate sexual activity with Megan. By lowering her grades purposely so she stay after school. Giving him a chance to take advantage of her and blaming everything on her. Megan is a victim and demon is that priest.
I'm confused with the timeline, wasn't the only relevant timeline was when his family died in the fire? what does the witch thingy story have to do with the present?
@@invigale it doesn't have anything to do with it because it was all in andrews head. megan most likely has a mental disorder that causes her to have a voice in her head that tells her to do stuff. that explains the priest in the witch trials. that also explains why she listened to what they said about her family, which caused her to burn the house down.
This is so sad .. every time i watch it i feel so bad
4:56 no one noticed the sudden change of expression on andrew?
LMFAOOOOOOO
can we all pay attention that devil himself who appeared as an arm at the beginning hadnt been mentioned through the whole game?!
It’s implied that due to the verbal (and possibly physical because of the time) abuse of her family, along with perhaps sexual abuse from the Reverend of Sunday school attended she snapped.
Wasn't real, like all the other supernatural stuff in the game
@@rorironan4840 then how about the first game and the wendigo?
@@whiteindark3236 until dawn isnt in the dark pictures
@@whiteindark3236 The first game is also delusions cause by the gas in the ships. Until dawn, while it is a game from the same developer, it is not in the dark pictures anthology. So until dawn is a stand-alone game that have nothing to do with man of medan, little hope, house of ashes and the next 5 games.

edit:
Silent Hill genre. The creepy place you went to plays with your head, you either die here or have some sort of personal development.
I think this and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories works somewhat the same, spoilers ->
Kaufmann: Your dad wasn't a hero. Wasn't your knight in shining armor. He was a human being. You never knew him, and you never will. The dad walking around in your head isn't even a ghost. He never existed. A Frankenstein's monster, a child's fantasy! But you're alive. Your mother is alive. She's not the monster you make her out to be. You need to live your life... Cheryl.
Today if you are a witch, your just a weirdo😂
Mhm! Hey it's not necessarily a good or nice label (unless if you embrace it or are fine with being labelled as such) but it's a hell of a lot better than being burnt or drowned etc hehe. X 💜 🔥 👀 🌊
How the times have changed lol
Well I mean don't call them weird for it though 😅 it's their belief and we should respect it
They have religion in the present time (Ancient times too).
yesterday... tomorrow, still today
You know there will be no deaths since the curator doesn’t appear to witness the event
I think there's no good endings... Anthony stays alone everywhere, only Mary has a perfect ending(which is not real), but i wanna see that Anthony isn't alone at all! We see only his imagination of happinnes! Why Vince didn't even stay near him or lend him till the caffetery, everything he did, only called police!
Well, I think its a bad part of the dark pictures. Somebody would say, it's the real world, and it's just a game! I'd agree, but look at the first games "Until Dawn", "Man of Medan", in these ones I could see happy or bad endings...
Stay alone but atleast in every ending he have a different feeling, in one he cant forgive himself and just commit suicide, in other he try but megan stop him, showing that he have the forgive of his sister, and the good ending where everyone "alive" he finally have peace because all his family forgive him, in part because not was his fault, so he can continue, vince have 2 endings, one where he know that anthony killed his family and take the police to him or the one where he understand not was anthony's fault, but he tell him that never come back and he stay close to little hope, even though for him there's nothing like anthony
@@773creepy3 Yeah I agree with you, but I just didn't expect that everyone we were worring and could save was just like an imagination... Unfotunatelly I didn't like the endings, but some of them were in a way good(Megan stops Anthony from suicide; Vince tells Anthony, it wasn't his fault) and generally the game was really cool... I'd say its my decision to set such a mark for that game.
@@773creepy3 I just don't understand why Vince is in Little Hope. He himself can’t forget about Tanya’s death, or does he just have no way to go? It confuses me
@@or5228 i didn't expected too, in the end they are not too goods like the man of medan endings, they are more like endings of forgivness and of leave everything behind and keep going with the life
@@Ramaha_ i dont understand too, but thats why he say to anthony that dont come back there, maybe he stil have problems with the death of tanya
This is one of my favourite endings of all time.
In the ending where everyone dies in the house, when the camera pans out, you can see The Curator aka Death standing there
Despite knowing that it was all a part of his imagingation, I stll found my self caring about the characters, but that revelation did not really add to the story experience rather deminishing it rather than outright ruining it.
this made me appriciate the fact the first game the charchters were atleast real s the death were more impact full and was in turn more invinting andtempting to replay to get other endings.
I’m so glad this video came up on my recommendation I never seen this seceret cut scene
Her expression on the thumbnail is amazing 😂
So there's only good, sad and bad endings?! Well done.
The old anthony's gaze got me feeling empty inside
Four ads for a ten minute video, really killed the mood lol
If this game was an actual movie this would be the best ending story wise
this is the best ending 100%
Andrew has finally moved on from watching his whole family die and in forgiving megan is able to forgive himself for not saving everyone.
If Megan saves you here it means Andrew doesn’t blame her for the death of his family, he blames it on an accident (the doll) or the evil reverend who corrupted her mind and made her kill his whole family. He can then live with the fact it wasn’t his, or Megan’s fault, and can finally start to move on from his trauma.
Idk to me this just seems like the most logical and realistic ending to the story, not ending up in some diner with your imaginary friends, having not actually moved on at all and still carrying around the trauma and emotional damage
I think you misunderstood.
He doesn’t forgive himself in this ending, thus why he tries to commit suicide. There was more to this journey than forgiveness and moving on. The goal with the other characters is to make them better people. If you succeed, then he is finally able to remember the more positive aspects of his family, and he finally lets go of them and the pain. If you believe in the more supernatural spin, this also allows their souls to move on.
while this is actually a pretty good ending, i still preferred the ending at the diner where anthony apologises to his family and they all basically tell him that it wasn't his fault
Lmao the guy in the Town it wss " hey buddy why are u playing around with that gun? You look like crazy" 😂😂
I wonder if the person who played Anthony's face (the bus driver) played also the Stranger or the Therapist from Until Dawn. Also, I think that this ending, along with the "everyone lives" ending are the 2 best endings of the game. The neutral ones would be him getting arrested and the worst ones would be everyone dying with him killing himself.
Stranger was one of the game’s writers, and the therapist was Peter Stormare. Neither were the bus driver.
He would be Charlie Lonnit in The Devil in Me
This game rly left me feeling empty inside
Andrew was always my favorite on the game
you my favorite youtuber
Oh! Interesting. Didn't see that coming, expected some kind of "you saved me, I'll save you" deal. Honestly, I like it, it's a good twist!
Why are Anthony's (Bus Driver) animations so janky in the flashback part of the ending? Awkward movements and his hand clips into his leg at 9:27. I guess they didn't put much effort into making that look good.
So basically to get this ending...
Don’t shoot at Vince but keep the gun
Everyone dies along the way except John, but even he doesn’t defeat his demon in the end.
Tell the priest to burn the doll.
Is that it?
Also must have a good relationship with vince
if anthony ends up killing himself you get an achievement called “no escaping fate”, imo him and the rest of them were cursed by carver(shown in the comic) doomed to keep dying over and over and he “escaped fate” by surviving the fire. the other characters were the souls of his family reincarnated again, the curator calls them souls repeatedly and if you save them he says you saved them from damnation and if they survive at the end he says they found redemption. he was led back to little hope (that’s why the fog stopped them from leaving) to either break the curse and let all of the souls move on or he ends up killing himself, starting the cycle again
First, we were the medic all along.
Now, we were the bus driver all along.
Sad times.
Its weird how I feel this is the happiest ending I've seen. The rest seem to imply that Anthony has not let go of them which will only continue to bring him misery. Even with everyone alive... They're not really alive and he's still living with the guilt by imagining them there. Even though he attempted suicide here, being stopped by Mary and just showing them sitting there together makes me feel like he at least reached some closure there. No longer feeling miserable and guilty enough that he feels he must take his own life to mend his pain. And it's like Mary is telling him that it's okay to let everyone go and to accept that they're dead, and even if there are, that they're still with him in his heart even if not physically present. A bittersweet ending... But way more sweeter than the others imo. And as the players, we can't be too upset losing everyone cause they were never alive to begin with. Plus we get to take pleasure in the fact that we technically helped him get this closure.
I don't know, I feel like this is a neutral ending. The guilt almost kills him, and he goes from using the others as a means of coping to using Mary(if they die). I feel like the best one is the one where everyone lives and disappears. It shows him accepting their deaths and getting over the guilt, no longer needing any hallucinations to cope
You mean Megan
This game is such a masterpiece
Also, i do think this is the best ending for the game, simply because of the fact that one of the pictures/secrets foretold he would be holding the gun to himself, and the secrets usually gave the best or preferable outcome to a situation
That slow burn wait while it gets dark...
That was the biggest twist ending for me i really wish it wasn't all in Anthony's head i wish they were all real because now I feel like all the stuff we did saving everyone didn't matter in the end
I find this to be a more fitting ending, he needed to move on from the past, from their deaths and he needed the guidance to see that. He also needed to guidance to remind him that none of this was his fault.
Edit: I also want to add that getting rid of the doll is also fitting seeing as that's what's caused the fire in Andrew's home in the first place. It may have been Mary's doll, but the doll itself is what caused it, it wasn't Mary's intention at all to start the fire.
I don't know anything about this game, but I do live near Salem, MA. My friend is an Anthropologist. She was working at the Witch House near Halloween while working on excavating where the Gallows may have been in Salem during the Witch Trials. I guess pretty much all the homes in Salem had poppets hidden in them somewhere, and she showed me one that was found in the walls of the Witch House. Very interesting.
8:16 megan was like: stop it get some help
Theres another ending everyones blatantly missing at the end when the wendigo thing has john in a headlock it says dismissive fearful I'm guessing throughout the game if u choice ur choices right u will unlock the lock symbol next to them. Everyone like so everyone sees
5:07 right here
No one is missing that, we all found it on like day one. All you have to do is face each demon on your own and choose the heroic option, not the fearful one. As long as you’ve changed your character’s personality traits they’ll survive
the locked traits can't be unlocked. they're locked because those are the traits that got them killed in the past. if you don't want them to die, you have to do the opposites of what those traits are. like for angela, one of her locked traits was arrogant. so in order for her to stay alive, you have to make non arrogant choices with her
There is no ending where you see them “unlocked”. If you play correctly, they leave the house with Andrew and don’t get into the conflict in the house first place.
He only wanted to call Orpheus, smh.
"PeRSonA !"
Little Hope is by far my favorite... The plot twist and its subject are incredible
I got this ending the first time I played it.
I wanted to check for reactions from different youtubers. But all had almost similar other endings. And nobody had this.
i feel special.
I wonder if he was crazy from the trauma or if he actually got crazy being in little hope
I mean we didnt get to see much of him as an adult or growing up so we cant really know but wouldn't it be a bit too random that just because he coincidentally visits his hometown he gets crazy
His mind was already off from the start, first evidence is himself saying that he had to transport passengers to some place whereas there was no one in his bus. Being forced to take an alternative route which made him go back to Little Hope intensified his PTSD
He was traumatized by the arson accident that killed his whole family
Plot Twist
Its really weird they went with the twist ending. It felt like it lost all its replayability for a lot players knowing they aren't real. Hmmm I guess all game characters aren't real so I guess good job.
No I disagree. If anything I think it ADDS replayability as now that u know the twist u can sea all the little nods to see
that it's all a hallucination and all the small details.
This is exactly why I played it once and deleted it.
@@epicpathan4587 Can't deny that since it did add some great realization and details when coming back but ultimately you would want to skip all the other characters gameplay since they basically don't exist or doesn't matter if they're alive or dead in the long run. Its going to be either all of them surviving or not. Unlike previous entries wherein there is a mix and match of different and intriguing consequence in every turn.
@@epicpathan4587 yeah but if people get the shit endings, they will not want to play again, well except if they watch this youtube videos. But if they get the good endings, they will play it again.What i mean by them is the people who think little hope ending sucked, and me?Well i did that too but! I saw this good endings and feel calm.
Yeah. But that means every character was imaginary even in the fictional world lol
Great game, and I could not see that plot twist coming
Im back after a year of commenting baby! Be ready for an essay.
Looking back on this game, while people didn't like the "It's all in your head" story reveal, thinking back the "it's all in your head" is more of a concept/plot narrative (idk what the right word is but it seems right) that helps explain the true story's intention.
The whole story was about Anthony/Andrew needing to move on from the past, from the house fire and to his family's deaths. For me the ending where Megan stops Anthony from shooting himself is my own canon and feels like the right ending for the story, he needed the affirmation that his family's death wasn't his fault.
All of the characters that Anthony made up in his head needed to die to remind him to move on from the past. Letting them live is just Anthony imagining them in a better life since back then they were a dysfunctional family and the characters he made up are basically his family members personified.
However letting them live isn't all bad as that also teaches a lesson, a lesson about facing your demons. If don't face your demons at all and overcome what's barring you from facing them, they'll eventually catch up to you and you'll face whatever punishment you'll get.
Sorry for the essay writing, but looking back and having taken lessons from writing, movies and therapy, this shaped my views to be a really great story in the Dark Pictures Anthology.
There is two first there could only be one
THIS is the right ending.
Man, I can't stop crying.
That is such a plot twist.
Really don’t like it when they pull the whole “it’s just a hallucination” thing
wait is that gally from the maze runner?
Yes
The bus driver is actually Anthony from the beginning of the game, clearly still traumatized by the death of his entire family. The whole story had, essentially, been a figment of his imagination as he passed through Little Hope, reliving all of the terrible memories that he has tried to forget and coming to terms with forgiving his sister, Megan, for what she had done.
This man really put 4 ads in a 10 minute video
You suck!!! there are 3 not 4!!!(it was a jock👍)
